Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breast

Here is a delicious recipe. This recipe is fun as well. But chef beware, it is cheesey!!

Ingredients:

  • 6 chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 2 tablesoons melted butter
  1. After washing hands thoroughly, gently separate the chicken skin from the meat of the breast halves along the rib edges.
  2. For stuffing, in a small bowl combine the cheeses, basil, oregano, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Spoon a rounded tablespoon of cheese mixture under the skin or each breast half. Place chicken, bone sides down, in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Brush chicken with melted butter. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until no longer pink.
